Jeremy Corbyn at the Durham Miner’s Gala – Full Speech

“Labour was built by the working class of Britain. Labour is the real party of the working class.

Labour is steeped in working class values of solidarity, social justice and community and Labour under my leadership will be dedicated in and out of Government to defending and advancing the interests of working class people in every part of our country.

We are determined not only to celebrate the best of the past but to invest, rebuild and re-equip the former mining communities many of which have been neglected and bypassed by failed economic policies with the cutting edge industries and high quality jobs of the 21st century.”
